It's vital that kids get time outside in the sun, but it's even more vital that their time outside is spent cautiously. Both children and adults require exposure to the sun because that is where our bodies get Vitamin D. Unfortunately, dangerous ultraviolet rays come from the sun too, and they significantly raise the odds of getting skin cancer.
The majority of kids get 50 – 80% of the sun exposure they will get in a lifetime prior to age 18. This fact combined with the fact that kids just have more fragile skin in the first place, means that it is especially vital that children cautiously guard their skin against the sun. It is imperative that kids learn sun safety at an early age. It is never too early to encourage sun safety habits.
Damage to the ozone layer means that an increasing amount of ultraviolet radiation is making its way to Earth. Continuing pollution and ozone damage means that this rate is always going up. In addition, cases of skin cancer are constantly on the rise.
Skin cancer probably doesn't seem like a real possibility for your kids, but every time a child gets sunburned, the risk of getting skin cancer later in life increases. Years ago, people believed that suntanned skin was an indication of looking healthy, but in reality, having a tan can harm your skin and raise the odds of cancer. A suntan is really the skin's way of responding to excessive sun exposure. A tan is the skin's method of protecting itself, but a tan is insufficient to offer any real protection against the quantities of UVR that currently reach the earth. The ideal way to appreciate the sun is to do so with proper sunscreen, baby swimwear and sun protective clothing.
Swimwear for girls is usually skimpy and cute but offers very little in the way of safeguarding your child's skin from the sun. Those tiny suits leave too much fragile skin bare to the sun. A traditional one-piece tank suit doesn't always provide much sun protection, either, because of the lightweight fabric from which it is constructed. The number one choice to keep your daughter safe from the sun is to pick sun protective swimwear.
Sun Protective Swimwear with built-in sun protection can give you UV protection of up to 50+ – the highest rating available. There is a range of styles to choose from, including items such as board shorts and rash guards, which offer superior UV protection. It is still vital that you always apply sunblock to any bare skin and reapply every two hours or after swimming.
